Thank you everyone, for all the advice. It feels better to have let all this pain and hurt out a little bit by finally talking about it, and reading all these comments. It won't be easy to let go, especially when there are a lot of things along the way that are going to remind me of him, but I'll try my best. I only wish that things had gone differently. I was holding on, still waiting for the day he'd change his mind about us, but every day seems like an eternity waiting for that to happen, and I know it's not healthy for me to continue being so persistent about this.

Once again, I appreciate all of this. Thank you all for all your advice.
